>>8383977The trouble I had is that if I didn't tilt the gut, you can see three hands in the picture, but if I did adjust things to hide the hand, then the prey's head is piercing the pred's chest. It seemed easiest to just cut out the head, draw a line, and leave it looking like the head's curled downwards inside the pred's gut. The difficulty of using cut-out guts is that they often have one or two things obscuring them.

>>8384884As a second anon who very much enjoys maniacalfork, I'm here to tell you you've been outvoted. Stop being an elitist faggot and accept some variation in personal preference, especially in a thread as lacking for content as vore. How assblasted do you have to be to do this two threads in a row? You have to understand you sound as bad as the bigbig haters.

>>8385231It's the art style of someone who understands the basics of what their fundamentals are supposed to be, but not how to do any of the correctly, or make anything appealing. It's literally written all over the characters faces with how the laugh lines make them look 1 billion years old, or that they have hilariously bad anime eyes.

Even behind them, take a look at the perspective for the wall. They got the right idea, but they just don't have the little sensibilities to learn what makes things appealing.

You think because you have one additional comment that it makes shit art good? Shit art is shit art. Not at all difficult to comprehend. If you were here longer than two threads you would know that his art is considered shit by the majority. stop replying.

>>8385259>Muh "this art is objectively bad"Bleach your eyes and drink the rest of the bottle while you're at it. Fork's art has been accepted without word since he started posting ages ago back on infinitychan and you're the first faggot that's ever gotten genuinely mad about it. You're a terminal case of shit taste and you can't argue otherwise. This is all also ignoring the extreme irony of bitching about art appeal on /d/, like, this whole board exists to aggregate fetish images of all types within site rules and above grade schooler quality. You remind of those cunts in the BBW threads that want Huurin art deleted.

If you were there when that faggot was posting art on infinitychan then you would know people compared it to MS Paint garbage, which is exactly what it is.

>Muh taste is better than yours so I won XD

There are subjective and objective truths to an analysis of any piece of artwork. While subjectively usually gets confused with objectively. Objectively, you cannot deny that this shitty artwork looks like MS Paint trash, has poor anatomy, poor coloring and shading, crude and basic faces, little to no new or interesting vore scenarios, etc etc. You can try to argue any of these with subjectivity but you cannot objectively dispute it

>>8385374This is a literal unwinnable argument because we can't define a bottom threshold on what separates mediocre art from unpostable garbage in the viewpoint of your virgin eyes, so you are left with no choice but to accept the collective or at the very least the stance the mods have on it. No one has ever objected to Fork but you and none of his art has ever been deleted, so it's good enough for most of us, and therefore it stays.

Being elitist on a fetish imageposting board is also the most "choosing beggar" shit I've ever seen, like holy shit, how sheltered are you? One would think 4chan is your primary source of content from how mad you are. You absolute neanderthal, the point of these threads is to introduce people to new sources of content at their primary source, not for you to stare at every couple days and masturbate. We don't owe shit to you if you're scrolling through about to burst and some "bad artwork" kills your boner. This is more indicative than anything to me of your newfaggotry.

Also>objective>little to no new or interesting vore scenariosThis is not only again oxymoronic, but is the field where Fork particularly shines among the hundreds of "standing with large belly and smirk" pics, so you've outed yourself as having no fucking idea what you're talking about.

Don't come back until you retroactively lurk the last 3 years of threads and have even a remote idea of how board culture works.

>>8385374>If you were there when that faggot was posting art on infinitychan then you would know people compared it to MS Paint garbage, which is exactly what it is.The thread is still up, so you can reread it and see that of the 4 people that replied to him, 1 was very enthusiastic and 3 said variations of "it's not the best but it's passable". Nobody said his art was garbage or that he shouldn't make a gallery

>>8385259Not any of them, but fork has definitely been on an upward turn with improvement as of late. He's certainly still amatuer, but his newer art that i've been seen posted is much more refined than his older work.Seeing how an artist slowly improves over time is a great feeling. I remember following Lampton when his work looked like this, and he grew into one of my favorite all time vore artists. Give every artist a chance to grow anon.

>>8385469Looks fine to me, drawfriend. Ignore the last 24 hours of posts, it was just one guy being autistic who has now backed out under the pretense of "it was all just bait" after getting negative replies from like 7 different people. I hate when shit like this happens on /d/, even if it's just trolling, because it scares off good prospects like you.

>>8385469drawfriend to drawfriend:your lines are rough, which is honestly a good indication of your own style. your anatomy is descent,a few details stand out but nothing that is too distracting (back view shoulder should be a bit further to the left, fingers from that same arm are all the same size).your idea is pretty good, the implied storytelling at the top is a bit confusing and i don't think i get it, maybe i should know about dragonball to fully get it (and that's cuz i googled the pic name)your colors are awesome, we have some good value contrast and it's much better than the original character's eye-gauging color scheme. anatomy is a bit stiff, but still expressive, and facial expressions are clear and cute. those boobs look natural and soft and perky.really neat stuff, would love to see the finished product!!

>>8385469Lines are incredibly rough. You need to clean that up. Anatomy is pretty bad as well.

The skeleton on the left lined in green, from what I'm seeing looks extremely painful and unatural like she's spreading her legs in completely opposite directions. A more realistic pose would have her thighs pressing into her stomach.

The various red circles are just unnatural but not necessarily impossible poses. The left knee is awfully long and pointy though, it literally sticks out. The elbow isn't a normal movement either, you need to force your arm that way and it again isn't right.

What is she looking at on the right? in that direction, her head is looking behind her at the floor. Did you intend for her to be looking at her stomach? The butt is another glaring issue. Butts aren't circles at the bottom of the torso where you stick legs on, they don't cut off on the inner thigh like that either at the buttcheek.

A good trick is to try to mimic the poses either with yourself or with a small figure/toy/model.

>>8386585The detail is an improvement compared to his usual sketchy stuff but something seems off about her head. I don't know if it's just the lack of shading or what but her forehead looks MASSIVE under those bangs, moreso than usual

>>8385442ManiacalFork needs to get an art tablet and experiment with figures and coloring. Mouse and keyboard can only get you so far. If he’d get that, he’d probably be the next Metalforever. Dude hasn’t improved too much other than the faces and getting fat deposit and detail. But he has great potential and draws stuff I like. I honestly hopes he keeps improving.

>>8385484Yep, but it's a mess and it's full of outdated/ugly work so I don't wanna link it.

>>8385644It seems the anon's gone at least. Hopefully it stays that way for a little longer, because I love how chill these threads are.

>>8386035>>8386536Thanks! The lines are rough 'cause I was using a non-drawing tablet and thus the pen that came with it is very wonky to work with and I wasn't planning to do proper lineart with it.

The pose itself was meant to be akward due to the size of her belly, but it seems ended up taking far more liberties than I expected. Luckily for me that also means I didn't have to draw one of the hands so I'll take all I can get.

The pic's idea is vore + follow-up, with the stick figures as her imagine spot about getting weight gain while in her dragon/true form.

Overall, thanks for the criticism everyone! If nothing goes wrong I should be done with this piece tonight.

>>8387233if you wish for a game with good art, then give up.If you like written stuff, than Nomad would be your best bet. If you are willing to sit through boring rpg maker games, then Nyan Adventures and The Chosen One. If you want mediocre vore scenes check out Mysta's stuff.A nice hidden gem is Another Realm, I'd recommend that.

>vore nun devours heretics and immodest women as part of a church campaign against immorality>wears a skimpy habit to show off the sinful prey in her belly to the pious, and the gains to her bustline as she "cleanses" the impure

>>8387533It's looking good, though I'd recommend changing her expression to pleasure or happiness, considering that's almost her default expression. Maybe a happy looking burp with her eyes closed and mouth wide in a big smile or something.

>>8387233I don't know if I'd call it "good" but God Complex is worth looking at imo. Both the writing and the Photoshop edit "art" are of inconsistent quality, but a good chunk of the scenarios are incredibly hot.

>>8393343Hey this is pretty good, your anatomy/proportions are overall spot on. Like her bangs too.Suggestions? Neck is a bit long, and her wrist and hand need more definition. Also while I applaud drawing a low angle shot of her face, her jawline looks odd. Head is really boxy too. Stomach really stands out due to the lines being so thick in contrast to the rest.

If you're trying lineart, all I can say is practice, practice, practice. Guides help but practical experience/knowledge matter more. And don't try to be 100% exact or perfect with it; let it feel natural or else it'll be stilted and lifeless.

Hope this stuff helps you anon. Keep at it, you have something good to go from.

>>8392111You can use whatever screen cap software you have on your computer to get around that, if you don't care about being able to pan around the pose later. You could take a bunch of shots from different angles though.

>>8393564It would be fine if the money actually made artists improve but most of the time they just churn less creative and worse art than before.And fuck anyone who asks for money so you can be entered into a lottery to win the privilege to pay even more money for a commission.

>>8394996> If I decide to go into sfw stuff and either mix it or keep it separate with my vore work, how hard would it bite me in the ass later on?Generally as long as you're not a sperg about it then people won't really care what else you draw, and those that do won't be able to use it against you.

>>8393382Thank you so much for the tips and feedback, been looking forwards to it a lot to see anything i can improve. Also i may redo the lineart of this stuff with another program to see if that helps at all. Been using Medibang but everyone recommends Krita. For now, i still think this lineart isn't competent at all so any ideas on what to improve and suggestions are super welcome. Will be trying to shade too eventually.

>>8395318Hey anytime. Far as your lineart goes, her hand and wrist are still odd, hand seems bigger than the hand on the belly. Could use refinement. And long neck is still long. Other than that though, doesn't seem there's much you can improve, atleast for this image. Aside from the prey's foot I guess.

If you have an Eka's we can monitor any progress you make, which I'd prefer. Speaking of, friend of mine, decently high profile on Eka's, uses Krita. Dunno if updating it solved the issues (was using an old version, ridiculously out of date) and had some hardware incompatibilities, but he got a lot of freezes, memory leaks bloating image file sizes, and just issues like that. Still it's better than Medibang, which I've never heard of, and it's free so I'll suggest you use it too.

You have a point but most patreon artists suck. And paywalling is ruining Ekas

Like Dracomermaid and Kattu are bad examples of this. Dracomermaid really hasn't posted much artwork to the site besides a small comic. And she advertised her patreon way too early. Kattu is a scumbag, he's annoying as fuck, toxic, a pedophile, and his overpriced *commisioned* artwork isn't worth it. And I'm not even going to talk about Bigbig.

The best artwork on the site come from people (my preferred) who don't paywall and mostly draw from commissions. Ex: Metal, Remn, MD002, Maniacal, Axlwisp, etc. And some even draw because they just want to. (Mobius)

>>8393564Honestly, I'm all for artists using Patreon or whatever to make money, but this person is brand new, doesn't have a name for themselves, and is coming on-site (eka's) to advertise their paywall only. It's kind of shitty in my opinion. Poor form. Hasn't built up many followers or interacted much.

>>8395777>And I'm not even going to talk about Bigbig.Bigbig makes paid work but he posts a lot of stuff for free too. His Eka's gallery is enormous. Unlike someone like DangoNoms whose gallery is just patreon ads now

>>8397576Kattu might be a pedophile but you can't conclude that he wants to bone little girls irl from his preferences in vore. Most vorefags who like underaged characters don't so there's no reason to assume he does

>>8383511>>8387254>>8391335I've managed to buy it using the touch version (while on a PC), but the dl link gives a 30101:ClientID not found error. Any ideas? Maybe I need to make it think I'm dling off a phone, so an emulator?

>>8398113From what I've heard the site blocks anyone who tries to buy stuff without a japanese IP adress. Try following this tutorial and see if it works: https://tiramisucowboy.com/how-to-buy/melonbooks-dl/

>>8398151The buying went fine using touch.melonbooks.com (mobile version). Was able to register and checkout while running it from the PC, the download button is there, but it gives that error. Apparently something is missing in the client_id field of the url

>>8398161Mmm...maybe it has something to do with the keyring not being there when the download happens?: https://orig00.deviantart.net/3471/f/2015/137/0/2/melonbooksdl_howto_by_yunzo-d80x8ty.pdf

>Melonbooks DL adopts "Keyring" DRM system. It is quite restricted and complicated because Keyring software works only on Windows and displays error message in Japanese.

>After the transaction is completed, you can download the purchased item. If the item is protected by Keyring DRM and you have not installed Keyring software yet, the link to download Keyring software will appear instead of download item itself.

>>8398221There's no DRM on it as far as I can see.https://touch.melonbooks.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=IT0000210462Oddly enough the "buy" button was greyed out on my end, but worked after replacing "product_info" with "shopping_cart" in the link above. But the download button just returns this error.I've heard of others buying and downloading from the touch version just fine, I don't know what's wrong with it.
